i'm sure everyone has seen the mittens garland going around blogland....i love it but i'm not quite ready to decorate for christmas. so, last week i thought why not turkey garland! this little craft started out as a family affair but i quickly became the one to finish it {i don't recommend starting it before bed time} luckily it was a pretty quick and easy one. i traced every ones hands a few times on different prints of scrapbook paper.

i also made some pumpkins and pilgrim hats. then, i modge podged them all to give them a little extra stiffness. next, i took some felt and cut out feet, beaks, eyes and the gobbler thing {anyone know what that thing is called?}. after all that was glued on and dried i took some twine and glued them all on the twine. simple as that!

you could also have everyone write what they are thankful for on their turkeys for a little extra fun. hope everyone has a great thanksgiving week!

i realize i have not been posting regularly so i'm going to give you october in a nutshell....a pretty big nutshell, but it will bring us up to date.

the weather last month was awesome! lots of sunny and warm days. we started off the month with a trip to feed the ducks.

mason was a little unsure at first....

but it didn't take long for him to get into it...

fun and cheap entertainment!

we also went to the circus which the kids loved. we sat pretty high up but there was plexiglass in front of us so the kids could stand and move around a little which was great. mason LOVED the elephants. he also loved waving his glow stick around, every time they turned the lights down he had to have his stick...side note on the sticks...i went to the $ tree before the circus and bought glow sticks and boxes of candy to keep from spending a small fortune while at the circus (learned that from last year). our buddy bradyn and cousin peyton were there also.

the one to the bottom right just cracks me up.....

dad had a birthday....he worked really late that day so we modified our party...we celebrated more a few days later....

we went on a hay ride and to the pumpkin patch

reagan is a city girl, the smell of the country was getting to her....

mason claimed his pumpkin....

mason got his first hair cut in october. he played in the sink and ate nerds while jeremy cut....after the first cut i just knew i was gonna be makin' a trip to the hair cutters the next day but it turned out ok....

mason showing off his new do...

and the most exciting thing in october was we got a new cousin and nephew! gavin eli.....

proud papa...

cousins and big bro peyton

mason wanted to hold him....

and we finished off the month with a community block party at church....

reagan was a princess and mason was a frog....

our buddy bradyn was buzz and his dad was woody....they looked so cute...

mason was in meltdown mode, i think he was coming off of his sugar high and did not want his picture taken. overall we had a busy and fun month!
